Making your own filler from sawdust

[Wooden Mechanic]

If the hole is only small, spread some glue on the end grain of a board the same species, scrape it with a sharp chisel and you will get a nice natural (?) filler.

Hope it helps,

I mixed some Tassie Oak sanding dust with some exterior-grade Selleys PVA. I went dark, as others have said.

I concluded it was like finishing endgrain with a water-based finish. The good reports above, I note, used glues not containing water.
